How does ITVS International work to increase diversity in its pool of applicants?

It is the mission of ITVS International to present diverse voices on television. We constantly strive to support underrepresented filmmaking communities throughout the world. We focus our field relations with filmmakers from indigenous and immigrant communities, as well as with filmmakers from countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America. Our efforts include outreach to a wide range of international festivals and markets where ITVS staff participate in workshops and serve on panels. Applicants can help guide our efforts by accurately filling out the demographic information on the application and by communicating their own diverse backgrounds in the Filmmaker’s Note section of their project proposal.
